The suspect in a crime spree that left a Big Flats man dead is back in Chemung County to face charges.

Curtis J. Burrows, 33, of Mansfield, had been in custody at the Tioga County Jail after he was apprehended in Wellsboro in early November.

Burrows, who initially refused to waive extradition, appeared in Tioga County Court on Wednesday for a formal transfer back to New York custody after governors in both states signed extradition warrants.

Chemung County sheriff's deputies were dispatched to Tioga County to pick Burrows up. He was booked into the Chemung County Jail around 5:15 p.m. Wednesday.

Burrows has already been indicted by grand juries in Steuben and Chemung counties, but Chemung County District Attorney Wetmore said the specific charges wouldn't be announced until he was returned to New York and arraigned.

Burrows allegedly started his crime spree the night of Nov. 2 when he attempted to abduct a Corning woman he met on social media, according to Corning police.

The woman escaped but Burrows stole her car, which was later found in a ditch near the Steuben/Chemung County line, police said.

Burrows then forced his way into the home of Timothy Webster of Reasor Hollow Road in the Town of Big Flats and fatally shot Webster before fleeing in his car, according to Chemung County Sheriff Christopher Moss.

Webster's wife called 911, Moss said, triggering a massive manhunt.

Burrows returned to Tioga County and was pursued by police before crashing Webster's stolen vehicle, authorities said. He was finally taken into custody by Wellsboro police at Soldiers + Sailors Memorial Hospital.

Authorities say they recovered the gun used in the fatal shooting, a .45-caliber semiautomatic pistol.

Webster, 60, was a postal employee in the Elmira area and left behind a wife, several children and stepchildren and 21 grandchildren, according to his obituary.
